Winter is approaching, and a change of season means a change to our bodies, which can deeply affect our physical well being. Going back to basics by incorporating fresh herbs and foods to our lifestyle is the essential science behind Ayurvedic medicine. This "Science of life" can help you reach and achieve optimum health during the cold winter months. A holistic alternative science from India, Ayurveda is more than 5000 years old, and is believed to be the oldest healing science in existence. Its secret is in individualized healing methods, which include herbs, foods, aromatherapy, and lifestyle recommendations. This ancient method is widely used around the globe, and has gained even more recognition as respected and popular practitioners, such as Dr. Deepak Chopra, apply it in their every day practice. According to Ayurveda, each person has his or her own Dosha, or 'body-mind constitution'. Each Dosha is a combination of Vata, Pitta and Kapha, proportionally balanced differently in each individual. The goal is to understand your own Dosha so that you may learn to live in a state of mind/body balance. |
